Thanksgiving in Charleston

Summer-Type Clouds!

Beautiful weather today and it almost feels like summer! Well, for South Carolina I’m sure summer is far hotter than today was but it sure didn’t feel like fall or winter as it has for most of the last month for us. Spent the day relaxing on Good Karma.

Yesterday we Uber’ed in to Charleston and toured Fort Sumter where the opening shots of the Civil War were fired. South  Carolina, first state to succeed from the union by a unanimous vote of the state political leaders. For the first time we saw a Confederate memorial. The northern states have none. I take it back, there was a Confederate memorial at an intersection in Arlington, VA, but it’s not popular with the locals and they want it taken down.

We are thankful for good weather, good food and Good Karma! Tomorrow we continue the adventure!
